[bunniefuu]

REFEREE: Game over!

Scoreboard L,SIGN: Seirin

Scoreboard R,SIGN: Shutoku

REFEREE: to , Shutoku!

PLAYERS: Thank you!

NAKATANI: We won three out of three games at this camp.

TAKAO: Maybe they just got lucky at the preliminaries.

NAKATANI: I don't like to think we lost because of luck.

NAKATANI: Takao, go run.

NAKATANI: You guys who played should know better than anyone.

NAKATANI: They were stronger this time

CRKuro: ,than they were when we lost at the preliminaries.

NAKATANI: On top of that, they're that strong without Kagami.

NAKATANI: At this rate, we'll have to be careful this winter.

KUROKO: What is this?

RIKO: It's my special icing technique.

RIKO: It's great for sore muscles and fatigue.

IZUKI: That's cold!

IZUKI: We ended up losing all our games.

KOGANEI: Have we gotten worse?

KIYOSHI: Not at all. You've definitely grown.

KIYOSHI: Have some more confidence.

KIYOSHI: We're strong!

FURIHATA: He can't do it... This guy can never do it.

FUKUDA: He looks so stupid.

EpTitle,EPTITLE: I'll Win Even if it Kills Me

RIKO: You're working hard.

KAGAMI: Not really.

KAGAMI: I was just putting this ball away, so I thought

CRKuro: ,I'd practice a little first.

KAGAMI: Actually...

KAGAMI: I've just been running on the beach

CRKuro: ,by myself during this whole trip.

RIKO: What? Really?

KAGAMI: And the game's always over by the time I get back!

KAGAMI: Why did I even come here?

RIKO: What? You still haven't noticed?

RIKO: I'll tell you, then.

RIKO: Try jumping.

HYUGA: By the way, what do you think Kagami's practice is?

KIYOSHI: Huh?

HYUGA: It's not just strength training, right?

KIYOSHI: I think that's all he's doing, but...

KIYOSHI: It's probably to draw out his true power.

TAKAO: Seirin's lady coach and Kagami?

CRKuro: ,What are they doing?

TAKAO: Wait a minute...

TAKAO: He easily jumped higher than the hoop.

RIKO: You're tired, so that's all you can manage right now.

RIKO: Try jumping the other way now.

KAGAMI: Huh?

TAKAO: The other way?

KIYOSHI: Don't you think his jumps are a little erratic?

HYUGA: Now that you mention it, I guess so.

KIYOSHI: Maybe it's because he's good at

CRKuro: ,one handed dunks with his strong right arm,

CRKuro: ,but he tends to jump off his left leg.

KIYOSHI: However, his highest jumps occur when

CRKuro: ,he jumps off his right leg.

HYUGA: What?

TAKAO: Oops...

RIKO: You idiot, you hit it too hard!

KIYOSHI: In other words,

CRKuro: ,Kagami's strong leg is not his left,

CRKuro: ,but his right.

RIKO: Do you understand now?

RIKO: Your greatest weapon is your jumping power,

CRKuro: ,but you haven't drawn out your full strength.

RIKO: For now, work on preparing yourself physically.

RIKO: After that, it's up to you.

RIKO: Don't forget to stand the hoop back up.

RIKO: Maybe I gave him too many hints.

RIKO: Well, he is a moron.

KAGAMI: My jumping power...

KAGAMI: A style that utilizes that strength...

KAGAMI: There's only one answer.

KAGAMI: Aerial combat!

CRKuro: ,That's the only place I stand a chance against

CRKuro: ,the Generation of Miracles!

KUROKO: Hello.

TAKAO: Hey! What are you doing?

KUROKO: It's almost time for dinner, so I came to get Kagami-kun.

TAKAO: It's that time already?

CRKuro: ,I guess I should...

TAKAO: Duck!

TAKAO: Keep quiet.

CRKuro: ,This looks like it's about to get interesting.

KUROKO: I haven't said anything.

KAGAMI: What do you want?

MIDORIMA: Nothing. I simply went to buy something to drink.

KAGAMI: A drink?

Soup,CAN: Red Bean Soup

KAGAMI: I'm surprised you can drink that during the summer.

MIDORIMA: It's cold, you fool.

KAGAMI: That's not what I'm talking about!

MIDORIMA: I have lost faith in you.

KAGAMI: Where did that come from?

MIDORIMA: Before losing to me, you were destroyed by Aomine.

KAGAMI: I'll win next time!

CRKuro: ,It won't always be that way!

MIDORIMA: Don't tell me

CRKuro: ,you believe you can fight him in the air.

MIDORIMA: Is jumping all you think about, fool?

KAGAMI: What?

MIDORIMA: Simply jumping higher will not change the results.

MIDORIMA: That is only half the answer.

MIDORIMA: It is not yet a weapon.

MIDORIMA: Come.

MIDORIMA: I will correct your simplistic thinking.

TAKAO: He's not just picking a fight.

TAKAO: Half the answer?

TAKAO: There's something beyond those ridiculous jumps of his?

MIDORIMA: We'll play ten tries.

CRKuro: ,You're on offense, and I'm on defense.

MIDORIMA: If you score even once, you win.

KAGAMI: What?

KAGAMI: I don't know what you're thinking,

CRKuro: ,but you really believe you can stop me ten times in a row?

KAGAMI: If you're so sure you can stop me, let's see you do it!

MIDORIMA: Don't worry. I will not lose.

MIDORIMA: In today's horoscope, both my fortune and match up

CRKuro: ,are much better than yours.

KOGANEI: What's gotten into you, Izuki?

CRKuro: ,Why'd you suddenly suggest we go running?

IZUKI: What did you think after watching Shutoku practice?

KOGANEI: They're all good. What about you?

IZUKI: Aside from my eagle eye,

CRKuro: ,I'm not particularly good at anything.

CRKuro: ,I don't think that's enough.

IZUKI: In any case, I don't know enough about basketball.

IZUKI: As a team and individually, Shutoku has clear goals.

CRKuro: ,They don't practice without focus.

IZUKI: That must be Shutoku's strength.

IZUKI: Even at Teiko, every member of the

CRKuro: ,Generation of Miracles had their own style.

IZUKI: Simply being skilled can't be enough

CRKuro: ,to become a regular on a legendary team.

KAGAMI: I didn't sense much at our last game,

CRKuro: ,but playing one-on-one against this guy...

MIDORIMA: How insulting.

CRKuro: ,Did you really think I could do nothing but sh**t threes?

TAKAO: I know Midorima's defense is amazing, but

TAKAO: he can stop him this well?

TAKAO: But how?

CRKuro: ,There's hardly any difference in their movements.

TAKAO: On the ground, they seem equally matched.

KAGAMI: Higher...

KAGAMI: Higher... Jump higher!

KAGAMI: I'm sure I jumped higher than I did during that game.

TAKAO: There it is again.

CRKuro: ,Kagami's jumps should be better.

TAKAO: But for some reason he keeps losing the aerial battle.

KAGAMI: Damn it.

KAGAMI: One more.

MIDORIMA: I am finished.

MIDORIMA: No matter how many times we play, it will be the same.

KAGAMI: You b*stard!

MIDORIMA: Notice already, you fool.

MIDORIMA: No matter how high you jump,

CRKuro: ,stopping you is easy because

MIDORIMA: I know you will dunk.

MIDORIMA: Let's go, Takao.

TAKAO: What? You knew?

MIDORIMA: Do not disappoint me at the Winter Cup preliminaries.

KUROKO: We won't.

KAGAMI: Damn it.

KUROKO: Kagami-kun, you're running a little fast.

KAGAMI: What?

KAGAMI: Why are you running with me?

KUROKO: I thought I would cheer you up.

KAGAMI: You were watching? You're terrible!

KAGAMI: I don't need your help, you idiot.

KAGAMI: I already know why I lost.

MIDORIMA: How I stopped Kagami?

MIDORIMA: You fool, I am simply stronger.

TAKAO: That's not what I meant.

MIDORIMA: I told you. I knew he would only dunk.

MIDORIMA: With only one option,

CRKuro: ,I merely have to time my jumps accordingly.

TAKAO: I understand your logic, but even he

CRKuro: ,must be able to pull a double clutch.

KAGAMI: I can,

CRKuro: ,but only when I jump with

CRKuro: ,my left leg and hold the ball in my right hand.

KAGAMI: If I jump with my right leg,

CRKuro: ,I'll generally hold the ball in my left hand.

KAGAMI: The truth is, all I can do with my left hand is dunk.

MIDORIMA: In other words, compared to his right hand,

CRKuro: ,his left-handed ball handling is too clumsy.

MIDORIMA: Simply jumping high doesn't make an aerial battle.

MIDORIMA: The contest between two athletes' airborne options

CRKuro: ,is the true battle.

KAGAMI: I know what I have to do by winter.

KAGAMI: Strengthen my legs and hips and improve

CRKuro: ,my left-handed ball handling.

KAGAMI: I'll become able to move at will in the air!

KAGAMI: But it pisses me off Midorima made me realize that.

KAGAMI: That's why I was running.

KAGAMI: All the members of the Generation of Miracles really are strong.

KAGAMI: Even when I got past Midorima's defense,

CRKuro: ,he forced me to jump off my right leg.

KUROKO: On the other hand, it means he fears you that much.

HYUGA: Is that really all you can do?

MIDORIMA: A man who cannot play by himself

CRKuro: ,cannot improve by himself.

KAGAMI: What's wrong?

TAKAO: Are you sure you should have

CRKuro: ,helped our opponents that much?

MIDORIMA: I will still win this winter.

TAKAO: We'll be fine if it's just Kagami.

TAKAO: Like you mentioned in the bath, if Kuroko grows too...

KUROKO: You may be able

CRKuro: ,to beat the Generation of Miracles in an aerial battle,

KUROKO: but you may not be able to beat them on the ground.

KAGAMI: What?

KUROKO: My passes don't work against them.

KUROKO: If you can't do it, no one in Seirin stands a chance.

KUROKO: But I just came up with something.

KUROKO: A new kind of basketball to make

CRKuro: ,the most of you and the rest of the team.

KUROKO: By mastering my own drive in addition to my passes,

CRKuro: ,I will surpass the Generation of Miracles.

MIDORIMA: I couldn't ask for more.

TAKAO: I could!

HYUGA: Everyone's here. Ready, and...

ALL: Thank you very much!

KOGANEI: All right! I feel alive!

FUKUDA: I thought I would die tons of times.

FURIHATA: I want to sleep in my own bed!

KAWAHARA: I can't sleep with a different pillow.

FUKUDA: You were sound asleep.

IZUKI: That's it!

CRKuro: ,Buried in pillows, buried in darkness.

HYUGA: Izuki, shut up.

RIKO: Where do you think you're going?

HYUGA: What? To the station.

RIKO: Why do you think we held our training camp here?

RIKO: This year they're holding the games here!

IZUKI: I see.

IZUKI: Today's quarterfinal game is between...

Text,PHONE: Today :Second Quarterfinal GameKaijo High School (Kanagawa)Touou Academy (Tokyo)

HYUGA: Kaijo and Touou!

RIKO: Let's go watch the Inter-High.

KUROKO: Kagami-kun...

KAGAMI: What do you want?

KUROKO: Just before we left, Midorima-kun gave me a message.

KAGAMI: What?

KUROKO: Thank you.

MIDORIMA: Don't be ridiculous.

CRKuro: ,I did nothing to deserve your gratitude.

MIDORIMA: Even a flea can jump.

KUROKO: "I only taught him a lesson because he's so stupid."

KAGAMI: That b*stard...

KUROKO: Also,

CRKuro: ,"Don't lose until I beat you," apparently.

KAGAMI: Like hell I'll lose! You tell him that!

KOGANEI: Amazing! So this is the Inter-High!

HYUGA: Coach, when's the game we're here to see?

RIKO: After this one. It should be soon.

KAGAMI: Kaijo versus Touou. A game between

KAGAMI: Kise Ryota and Aomine Daiki!

KAGAMI: Kuroko,

CRKuro: ,who do you think will win?

KUROKO: I don't know.

KUROKO: This is the first time I've seen two Generation of Miracles

CRKuro: ,starters play against each other.

KUROKO: However...

KUROKO: Aomine-kun inspired Kise-kun to play basketball.

KAGAMI: Really?

KUROKO: They used to play one-on-one a lot,

KUROKO: but Kise-kun has never won.

HAYAKAWA: Oh, man!

HAYAKAWA: I'm so excited! Oh, man!

HAYAKAWA: I'm gonna do it!

CRKuro: ,I'm ready to show them what I've learned in practice!

HAYAKAWA: I'm gonna try real hard! Seriously, man!

KASAMATSU: What did you say?

HAYAKAWA: I told you, I'm gonna try real hard!

KASAMATSU: You're too close!

KASAMATSU: You're crowding me, you're talking too fast to make any sense,

CRKuro: ,and I don't have any idea what you're saying, you idiot!

HAYAKAWA: Sorry, but I...

KASAMATSU: Hey, Moriyama! Do something about this idiot!

MORIYAMA: Actually, Kasamatsu...

MORIYAMA: Third row on the west side, way on the end...

MORIYAMA: Did you see them? They're here.

MORIYAMA: A super cute girl!

CRKuro: ,I'm going to play for her today!

KASAMATSU: Play for us, you moron!

KISE: Senpai!

KASAMATSU: What now?

KISE: I got something from my fans, but it's okay if I eat it, right?

KISE: If something's in it, I...

KASAMATSU: If you can eat and play, go die!

KASAMATSU: I can't believe all of you.

KASAMATSU: Just let me focus.

TAKEUCHI: Hey, are you guys ready to go?

TAKEUCHI: It's almost time to get out there.

TAKEUCHI: Give it everything you have.

KASAMATSU: Why are you trying to compete with

CRKuro: ,that handsome Touou coach, old man?

TAKEUCHI: Our game plan will be what we discussed in our meeting.

TAKEUCHI: Stay focused.

KASAMATSU: Kise, come get me five minutes before we start.

KISE: Okay.

KISE: Even he gets nervous.

TAKEUCHI: Well, that's not all it is.

KISE: Huh?

IMAYOSHI: Well, Momoi? Did you get in touch with him?

SATSUKI: He won't answer.

IMAYOSHI: I can't believe how relaxed Aomine is.

WAKAMATSU: We don't need that guy!

SAKURAI: Sorry, sorry!

WAKAMATSU: He's been late to every game!

WAKAMATSU: Even when he shows up, he doesn't always play!

WAKAMATSU: I'm sure he'll be late again today!

HARASAWA: We'll be in trouble if he doesn't show up today.

HARASAWA: They're not so weak that we can beat them without him starting.

AOMINE: Hey.

AOMINE: Did you say something?

HARASAWA: Looks like you've already warmed up.

AOMINE: I thought you guys might have some trouble without me today.

SATSUKI: Don't make me worry every time!

AOMINE: We're up against Kise.

CRKuro: ,There's no way I'd be late.

AOMINE: I've been looking forward to playing against him for a long time.

AOMINE: He's one of the few guys I can crush as hard as I can.

KISE: Senpai, five more minutes.

KASAMATSU: Okay.

KISE: You've been doing that a lot since the Inter-High started.

KASAMATSU: At last year's Inter-High,

CRKuro: ,we were strong enough to take the championship.

KASAMATSU: Do you know what happened?

KISE: You lost your first game, right?

KASAMATSU: It was my fault.

KASAMATSU: With a one point difference, I missed a pass

CRKuro: ,and let them take the game.

KASAMATSU: My seniors' tears, their criticism.

KASAMATSU: I even thought about quitting, but...

KASAMATSU: The coach made me captain and said this.

TAKEUCHI: That's why you should do it.

KASAMATSU: That was when I decided.

KASAMATSU: I don't think I can make up for what I did.

KASAMATSU: I don't expect to be saved.

KASAMATSU: But I'll still win the Inter-High.

KASAMATSU: It's my responsibility and raison d'etre as the captain.

KISE: Huh?

KISE: Well, I'm just hoping to beat Aominecchi for the first time.

KASAMATSU: I see.

KISE: I'll win even if it kills me.

KASAMATSU: I see.

KISE: I won't lose, Aominecchi.

AOMINE: What? You're awfully confident, Kise.

AOMINE: Have you ever beaten me before?

KISE: I'll win today.

KISE: I really don't want to lose today.

IMAYOSHI: Good luck.

KASAMATSU: Good luck.

IMAYOSHI: He's got presence.

IMAYOSHI: I wouldn't expect less from such a strong team's captain.
